This is an attractive example of a four-pieced-, WH (Luftwaffe) ie. Spanish Civil-War-related medal-bar (ie. 'Feld- o. Bandspange') showing respectively the confectioned ribbons for a: 'LW-Dienstauszeichnung für 4 Jahre Treue Dienste' (or: airforce loyal-service-medal as was awarded for four years of loyal-service) that comes with a detailed, silver-coloured- (and neatly 'down-tailed'!) eagle-device period-attached, a: Czech 'Anschluss'-medal (or: 'Medaille zur Erinnerung an den 1. Oktober 1938', as was awarded for the annexation of Czechoslovakia) having a detailed 'Prager Burg-Spange'-miniature attached and two: Spanish Civil-War commemorative-medals (both having a swords-device attached). The 'Spange' comes in an overall very nice- (albeit moderatly used and/or worn-), condition. All four ribbons are of the regular (ie. smaller-) ribbon-bar-size and measure approximately 1,5 cms. each as is more often encountered (the piece has a total length of approximately 6 cms.) and is neatly 'backed' with a piece of field-grey-coloured wool (as can be seen on the pictures). The piece does show some minimal age, wear and/or staining. Simply a neat, four-pieced- and Spanish Civil-War-related 'Feld- o. Bandspange' that can be used for almost any tunic!

The attractive - and fairly large-sized arm-badge, sized: 10 x 9 cms. - is executed on the typical summer-type 'Polizei'-type linnen-based cloth (aka 'grünmellierte Stoff') and is nicely fortified with a linnen border as per regulation. The piece - that shows some minimal age, wear and/or staining - comes in an overall nice, albeit used- ie. once tunic-attached condition. The piece retains, however, great pronounced detail: the used machine-embroidery is simply stunning (as can be seen on the pictures). These unusal arm-eagles can also be encountered without having an embroidered town-name above the eagle: this is a 'named' version showing the specific town embroidery entitled: 'Berlin'. It should be noted that these neat 'grünmellierter Polizei Ärmeladler' can easily be graded 'fairly scarce'.

This is a truly attractive - and in this combination rarely seen! - example of a two-pieced medal-bar (ie. 'Spange') showing respectively an: 'Eisernes Kreuz II. Klasse' (or: Iron Cross second-class) being an example that was produced by a (by me) unidentified maker and a golden-toned- and 'Buntmetall'-based example of a: 'Deutsch-Italienische Feldzugsmedaille' (or: German-Italian campaign medal) that come both period-mounted as a so-called: 'Doppelspange' that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit issued- and IMO only minimally worn-), condition. The iron cross was with certainty never cleaned and has a very nice and/or attractive age-patina: it has lost its so-called: 'hochpolierte Kanten' (or: polished sides) and has a minimally 'darkened tarnish' (as can be seen on the pictures). The cross has a nicely preserved, black-finished (ie. somewhat 'matted'- ie. satin-like) core: it is truly void of any damage or alike. The piece is just a tiny bit dusty and/or stained but was never cleaned nor polished. The cross has very nice and/or pronounced detail. The 'Deutsch-Italienische Feldzugsmedaille' retains all of its fairly darkened, golden-bronze-coloured finish and has IMO never been cleaned nor polished: it is simply a bit dirty but retains, nevertheless, pronounced detail (as can be seen on the pictures). It is stamped by the designer ie. cutter ('De Marohis') and is also neatly maker-marked ('Lorioli-Milano') as is always the case with these neat and desirable commemorative awards. The 'Spange' just shows some minimal dirt and/or dust acquired over the years: the ribbons show some equal minor usage and/or staining. The 'Spange' has truly very nice detail and is nicely 'backed' with a piece of black-coloured wool (something that is more often seen) and comes naturally mounted on its (still functional) pin-ie. catch set-up. Simply an attractive and desirable example of a 'Doppelspange' that can be mounted on almost any tunic!

This is a truly attractive - and only minimally used- and/or worn! - example of a two-pieced medal-bar (ie. 'Spange') showing respectively an: 'Eisernes Kreuz II. Klasse' (or: Iron Cross second-class) being an example that was produced by a (by me) unidentified maker and a: WH Czech occupation- (ie. 'Anschluss'-) medal: '1 October 1938' (as was awarded to all members of the armed forces that participated in the German occupation of Czechoslovakia, which started on 1 October 1938) and that come both period-mounted as a so-called: 'Doppelspange' that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit issued- and IMO only minimally worn-), condition. The iron cross was with certainty never cleaned and has a very nice and/or attractive age-patina: it has lost its so-called: 'hochpolierte Kanten' (or: polished sides) and has a minimally 'darkened tarnish' (as can be seen on the pictures). The cross has a nicely preserved, black-finished (ie. somewhat 'matted'- ie. satin-like) core: it is truly void of any damage or alike. The piece is just a tiny bit dusty and/or stained but was never cleaned nor polished. The cross has very nice and/or pronounced detail. The Czech 'Anschluss'-medal also retains great detail: all its (bright-toned-) golden-bronze finish is still perfectly preserved whereas the medal has a minimal 'blackened' tarnish ie. age-patina. The 'Spange' just shows some minimal dirt and/or dust acquired over the years: the ribbons show some equal minor usage and/or staining. The 'Spange' has truly very nice detail and is nicely 'backed' with a piece of bright-red-coloured wool that shows some minimal moth-damage (something that is more often seen) and comes naturally mounted on its (still functional) pin-ie. catch set-up. Simply an attractive and desirable example of a 'Doppelspange' that can be mounted on almost any tunic!

This attractive example is neatly light-blue-coloured (as to be expected) and was executed on a tropical-pattern-, brownish- (ie. typical tan-) coloured and/or: linnen-based background as to be expected. The piece comes - as stated above - in a virtually mint- ie. unissued- and never confectioned, condition: it comes as 'straightly cut-off the role' (as can be seen on the pictures). The breast-eagle is just a tiny bit stained caused by years of storage but has maintained nice detail overall. These original 'BeVo'-woven examples are getting nowadays almost impossible to find something that merits its IMO justified asking-price. The piece can as such perfectly serve to restore any tropical-tunic (or even shirt). These 'tropical-issue-' (ie. DAK- or 'Deutsches Afrika Korps'-related-) breasteagles can easily be graded 'scarce' and are nowadays not that often offered for sale!

This is an attractive - and/or fully matching! - pair of WH (Heeres), early- (ie. pre-) war period, 'M36'-pattern (rounded-styled-) NCO-type shoulderstraps as was piped in the bright-red- (ie. 'hochroter'-) coloured branchcolour as was intended for - and/or clearly worn by! - a: 'Wachtmeister eines (Sturm)Artillerie-Regiments' (or: NCO ie. sergeant who served within an army artillery unit or regiment) and that comes in an overall nice- (albeit moderately used- ie. worn- and/or tunic-removed-), condition. The straps - which are both approximately 11 cms. sized in length - have the 'standard-pattern' and/or: darker-green-coloured-, woolen-based 'upperdecks' and have the bright-red- (ie. 'hochroter'-) coloured- and/or woolen-type piping ie. branchcolour attached (see pictures). The shoulderstraps show the ('standard-pattern'- and/or somewhat shiny-) silver-coloured NCO-braid and a pair (regular sized- and/or 'Buntmetall'-based-) attached, denoting that the pair was intended for an NCO with the rank of: 'Wachtmeister' (ie. 'Feldwebel'). The pair comes mounted on its original tongues and does show some minimal age-, wear and/or staining (as can be seen on the pictures). Of additional interest is, moreover, the fact that this pair shows a (firmly- and period-attached!) pair of darker-blue-coloured, so-called: regimental-indicator 'slip-ons' (ie. 'Laschen') attached. Simply attractive - and IMO quite early- (ie. pre-war-) period, 'Heeres' NCO-type, '(Sturm)Artillerie'-related shoulderstrap-pair that belonged to a: 'Wachtmeister eines (Sturm)Artillerie-Regiments': I deem that this attractive pair is accordingly priced!

This is a truly attractive - and not that easily found! - example of a so-called: 'Einzelspange', showing a: 'Deutsches Schutzwall Ehrenzeichen' (aka: 'Westwall'-medal) being a non-maker-marked- and/or: 'Buntmetall'-based specimen that comes in an overall very nice (and IMO only minimally used- ie. worn-), condition. The detail on the (golden-bronze-toned- and/or 'Buntmetall'-based-) medal is nicely preserved: it has IMO never been cleaned nor polished and has a nice ie. somewhat 'frosted' age-patina (but also shows some minimal usage and/or wear as to be expected). The medal comes 'mounted' on a clasp (with functional pin/catch-set-up) as was intended for wearing this example on a 'going-out'- ie. dress-tunic or: 'Waffenrock'. This example is nicely 'backed' with bright-pink-coloured wool (as can be seen on the pictures). The (golden-yellow-coloured) ribbon shows only minimal usage and/or staining. Simply a neat so-called: 'Westwall'-medal that comes mounted on a so-called: 'Einzelspange'!

The neat (and with certainty male-type- and/or: larger-sized-) WH (Luftwaffe) related finger-ring is a neatly enamelled and/or genuine silver-based, 'souvenir'-ring depicting a single 'LW Schwinge' on a golden-yellow-coloured background (and showing a '935'-silver-content number on its inside). The piece retains great pronounced detail and is void of any enamel-damage: it was, however, clearly worn ie. used (it is still a bit tarnished and was with certainty never cleaned nor polished). These attractive WH (Luftwaffe) related 'souvenir'-rings could be privately purchased from local artisans and specialised shops and were very popular amongst the troops. Simply a neat and 100% genuine example that originates from a German private household where it was recently uncovered!

The attractive - and IMO typical mid-war-period - piece is executed in greyish-silver-coloured- and/or zinc-based metal (ie. 'Feinzink') and comes in an overall nice (albeit moderately worn- ie. used-), condition. The naturally non-magnetic- and/or non-vaulted cross shows some blacked- ie. tarnished age-patina but has IMO never been cleaned nor polished: it retains, however, most (ie. all) of its silverish-grey-coloured finish (as can be seen on the pictures). The cross comes naturally mounted on its functional (flute-shaped) pin- and/or: period catch (ie. catch-set-up) which are both present and unaltered (as can be seen on the pictures). The piece - which shows a clearly present makers'-designation '21' -stamped onto the back of the pin - comes as found and stored for decades: it was truly never cleaned and is still a bit stained ie. dirty (as can be seen on the pictures). IMO is the KvK 1st class award a bit underestimated by the collectors' community: they can IMO be almost graded equally as the IC 1st class. Simply an attractive example that was produced by the desirable maker: 'Gebr. Godet & Co.' based in the town of Berlin and that is accordingly priced!

This is a very attractive - and/or fully matching and with certainty rarely encountered! - pair of WH (Heeres), early-war period-, ie. 'M36'-pattern- (rounded styled) NCO-type shoulderstraps as piped in the desirable bright-pink- (ie. 'rosaroter'-) coloured branchcolour, as was intended for - and clearly worn by! - an: 'Unteroffizier. u. Offiziers-Anwärter eines Panzer- o. Panzerjäger-Regiments o. Abteilungs' (or: sergeant and officers'-candidate who served within a: tank- ie. tank-destroyers-regiment or unit) and that comes in an overall nice (albeit moderately used ie. worn-), condition. The shoulderstraps - which are approximately 11,4 cms. sized in length - have the 'standard-type'- and/or: darker-green-coloured- and smooth-woolen-based 'upperdecks' and have (as to be expected) the bright-pink- (ie. 'rosaroter'-) coloured- and/or woolen-type piping attached (see pictures). The straps - which come mounted on their functional tongues attached - show as stated above only moderate usage and/or wear (some minor wear, staining and/or dust is visible and/or present). The straps show the ('standard-pattern') bluish-grey-coloured (ie. sub-dued-) NCO-braid attached. Next to this, they show a (matching) pair of double 'Anwärter-Laschen' attached (which are executed in the same, bluish-grey-coloured (ie. sub-dued-) NCO-braid). It should be noted that ALL NCO-pattern, 'Panzer- o. Panzerjäger'-type shoulderstraps can easily be regarded 'rare'. This particular pair - which is as stated above completely matching and that was most certainly worn as such as a pair - originated from an older cloth- and/or shoulderstrap-collection I recently acquired. In any case a very attractive and/or: early- (ie. pre-) war-period, 'Heeres'-Panzer-related NCO-type shoulderstrap-pair that was intended for usage by an: 'Unteroffizier. u. Offiziers-Anwärter eines Panzer- o. Panzerjäger-Regiments o. Abteilungs'!
